The press conference

I look very much forward to inauguration. It’s going to be a beautiful event. We have great talent, tremendous talent. And we have all of the bands — or most of the bands from the different segments of the military. And I’ve heard some of these bands over the years — they’re incredible. We’re going to have a very, very elegant day. The 20th is going to be something that will be very, very special, very beautiful. And I think we’re going to have massive crowds because we have a movement. It’ s a movement like the world has never seen before. Is a movement that a lot of people didn’t expect. And even the polls, although some of them did get it right, but many of them didn’t. And that was a beautiful scene on November 8th as those states started to pour in. And we focused very hard on those states, and they really reciprocated. And those states are going to have a lot of jobs, and have a lot of security. They going to have a lot of good news for their veterans.

Then questions started.

DONALD TRUMP

But had a statement today that this fake news was indeed fake news. They said it totally never happen.

(CROSSTALK)

These meetings as you know are confidential classified. So I am not allowed to talk about what went on in a meeting. That we had many witnesses in that meeting — many of them with us. And I will say again, I think it is a disgrace that information would be let out.

I saw the information I read the information outside of that meeting. It is all fake news. It is phony. It did not happen. It was gotten by opponents of hours as you know because you reported it and so did many of the other people — it was a group of opponents that got together — sick people.

And they put that crap together. So I will tell you — not within the meeting but outside of the meeting, somebody released it. It should never have been — should not have even entered the paper — it should have never been released. But I read what was released, and I think it is a disgrace. I think it is an absolute disgrace. As far as hacking — think it was Russia — but I think we also got hacked by

And other people. And I can say that — when we lost twenty two million names and everything else that was hacked recently — they did not make a big deal out of that — was something extraordinary that was probably China — we had much hacking going on. One of the things we will do — we have some of the greatest — computer minds anywhere in the world that we have assembled.

You saw a sample of it two weeks ago where we had the six top people in the world — they were never in the same room together as a group. We are going to put those minds together. And we are going to form a defense I have to say this also — the Democratic National Committee was totally open to be hacked. They did a very poor job. They could have had hacking defense which we had and I will give friends previous credit.

The transcript is being done at speed so there are mistakes, but it’s so grotesque I want to share it anyway.

Over the weekend, I was offered two billion dollars to do a deal in Dubai with a very, very amazing man, a great, developer from the Middle East.

Hussein Damac, a friend of mine, great guy.

And was offered two billion dollars to do a deal in Dubai — a number of deals. And I turned it down. I didn’t have to turn it down. Because as you know, I have have no conflict situation because I’m president, which is — I don’t know about that until about three months ago. But it’s a nice thing to have.

But I don’t want to take advantage of something. I have something that others don’t have. Vice President pants also have a. I don’t think you’ll need it. Either feelings are going to meet it. But I have a no conflict of interest provision as president. It was many, many years old. For president because I want presidents —

I understand. They don’t want present getting tangled up in minutia. What the president to run the country. So I could actually run my business. I could actually run my business and run government at the same time. I don’t like the way that looks, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to.

I be the only one who will be able to do that. You won’t be able to UK other capacity. But as a present, I could run the Trump organization — great, great company. And I could run the company country. I did a good job. But I don’t do that.

Now his lawyer is explaining why he shouldn’t have to get rid of his many conflicts of interest. It’s a disgusting display.

I was reading that while thinking about how Obama would have said it – give him the same thing to say, to express identical ideas, and it would soar. It would move. And you would so totally believe him (which may not be a good thing, if this was what he was saying). Trump would fail a seventh grade speech class.

Bruce, beat me to it – I was totally taken by Vice President Pants. I think that’s what I’m going to call him forever now.
